New Driveway -life outside computers

Here is a picture of my new driveway, each concrete cobblestone is 20"x20"x4.5" and weighs a little more than 120lbs. They were hand cast by me, 3 at a time, and inlaid into the driveway a little at a time over a 3 month period (I am still disposing of the old asphault) -90% of the grunt work was also done by me.... my muscle tone has improved as a result

Thanks all! I believe that art is a lifestyle.

Nope, just the cheap redi-mix stuff in 60# bags, 2bags per block and about 1ltr of an amendment (Silica 200mesh 60%, Feldspar 200mesh 25%, Lime 10%, and Titanium Dioxide 5% -basically old refuse glaze materials that I needed to dispose of).

Plastic forms were well oiled prior to pouring the mix.

Nice . Very nice. Ah, the things you can do when you don't have to worry about snow.
